Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: lease renewal

There should be a paragraph in the original lease or renewal you signed with relation to what happens if either party defaults.

Generally a tenant is liable for the rent although damages can be mitigated for example if the landlord rents the space for the terms of the lease.

Unfortunately without viewing the lease it is very difficult to give an accurate answer to this question.
